Working Group: Chris Gresham. Patrick McNeal, Garry Zacheiss, Oliver Thomas, Steve Landry and Patricia Sheppard
- Introduction
- much of the leg work was done this past winter and spring - hence Releaseball!
- Steve Buckley has charged Patrick with working on solving software release problems, hence this working group!
- Marilyn would like to see a proposal by mid August, we are working around vacation schedules for the week of the 16th
- Project Sponsor
- the team agrees that this work would benefit from an external sponsor
- sponsor would have a vested interest in IS&T software release, a consumer of our services, act as consultant, provide feedback and hopefully be able to get behind the processes we propose
- Steve Gass from Libraries is our top candidate - Oliver and Pat will discuss this with him
- Scope of Work
- What is in scope: the process by which IS&T introduces products and services to the MIT community
